φρίξ

Ancient Greek

Uncertain, connected with φρίσσω (phríssō, “to be rough; to shiver”). Compare also φρίκες (phríkes) or φόρκες (phórkes, “pales”), and βρίκελοι (bríkeloi, “the beams of a standing loom”). Perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *bʰérǵʰs, from Proto-Indo-European *bʰerǵʰ- (“to raise”); compare Proto-Celtic *brixs (“hill”).^[1] Possibly from Pre-Greek.^[2]
